AMRESCO Residential Securities Corporation Mortgage Loan Trust Series 1996-4 Class A Certificates ALL CERTIFICATES (cont.) ------------------------ Overcollateralization: The credit enhancement provisions of the Trust are intended to provide for the limited acceleration of the Certificates relative to the amortization of the related collateral, generally in the early months of the transaction. Accelerated amortization is achieved by applying certain excess interest collected on the collateral to the payment of principal on the Certificates, resulting in the build up of overcollateralization ("O/C"). By paying down the principal balance of the certificates faster than the principal amortization of the respective collateral pool, an overcollateralization amount equal to the excess of the aggregate principal balance of the Collateral Pool over the principal balance of the related Certificates is created. Excess cashflow will be directed to build the O/C amount until the pool reaches its required O/C target. Upon this event the acceleration feature will cease, unless it is once again necessary to maintain the required O/C level. Overcollateralization: Initial O/C: Group I -- [0.0%] O/C Target: Group I -- [1.75%] Levels (Approx.) Group II --[0.0%] Group II --[3.00%] O/C Cushion (Adjustable): [.50%] These O/C percentages are subject to step downs beginning in month 30 if certain tests are met. Certificate Insurer: MBIA MBIA's claims-paying ability is rated AAA/Aaa/AAA by Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch. Certificate Ratings: The Class A Certificates will be rated AAA by Standard & Poor's, Aaa by Moody's Investors Service and AAA by Fitch Investors Service Clean-up Calls: The Residual Holder has the option to excercise a call when the outstanding Certificate Balance equals 10% or less of the original principal balance of the Certificates. If such call is not exercised, the Servicers will have the option to purchase the mortgage loans when the outstanding Certificate Balance has declined to 5% of original. Each call will be excercised at par plus accrued interest. ERISA Consideration: The Class A Certificates will be ERISA eligible.
